GLAMOUR PHOTOGRAFY

. . . positively adore bright colours in the springtime, but nearly always on others, for here, it's lacy whites and billowy pastels—and yet, at a time of year when the brightness of longer days beautifully envelopes everything, it's nearly impossible not to be drawn to shades of tangerine and cerise, and daffodil silk, and most of all, fuchsia, so elegantly chic when paired with white, that it may be time to fall headfirst . . .

. . . the day began as a whirlwind and happily slowed down {just a little} with an early morning stop at the farmers' market for apples, honey comb, pecan butter tarts & two of the most enormous, and romantically fragrant bouquets of pink peonies {if you're on twitter, you may have already heard} and somehow we have arrived at wednesday already and there is still much to catch up on, and so many wonderful things to do . . . and of course, a little behind on a million blog posts, and hopefully can complete a few today, including this week's favourite five, and there are so many other beautiful things to tell you . . .

. . . a dash of perfect eyeliner and pale & pretty lips, and for the rest, spectacularly vibrant shades of cerise and hermès orange to take mid-winter afternoons from dreary to daydreams with silk scarves and satin heels, brilliantly bright bouquets and structured handbags, pink satin teacups and love is in the air . . .

. . . unbelievably frosty mornings call for bright bouquets of cerise-coloured roses in pretty crystal vases, luminous hair and faceted bangles, festive greetings in gold-lined envelopes, and most of all, soft mohair throws . . .
